Q: I am a 23 years old female who got married last year. My periods have turned quite erratic and irregular after my marriage. I also get white vaginal discharge. What should I do?

A:Irregular menses after marriage can occur sometimes due to stress and adjustment to new conditions. However, if there was white discharge previously, you need to rule out infection as the cause for the irregular periods as well. A visit to the gynaecologist, an examination and treatment for any infection must be done early to prevent any long term problems like inability to conceive later on.
